MRI-based predictors of spinal ankylosis progression: ESSR framework for axial spondyloarthritis
Baseline MRI findings, particularly inflammatory and Romanus lesions, are strong predictors of spinal ankylosis progression in axSpA. These results highlight the importance of incorporating MRI into personalized treatment strategies to mitigate disease progression. Further studies are needed to validate these findings in larger cohorts.
